Well, to celebrate our week of 'back-breaking' work, we took off Saturday afternoon for an afternoon and evening on the town. We went downtown to the French Quarter and just had a blast.
The bonus was that my sister, Kristen, who is working right now in Gulf Port, MS came out for a day to hang out. It was great to see her again, and to just run around the city with her and the rest of the gang.
We went from place to place sampling food, drink, music, and locals. One of our crew (who will remain nameless) asked at the VooDoo Museum if they did sacrifices...the poor cashier just picked up her book and told him he could leave nown. He was trying to be funny, but she didn't catch it. He apologized to her, and we all went on.
We at at Ralph & Kacoos which was divine! A bit out of my price range, but God does provide. Our waiter, Ryan was a gift. He was kind, and helpful, but also shared his story with us. At the end of our time there several of us were talking with him and we all held hands and prayed for each other. Ryan - God bless you on your nursing studies and reconnecting with your mum!
Then we went to Preservation Hall - the center of the heart beat of Jazz music. The set I sat in on was superb, and flowing! The clarinetist - Ralph was incredible!!! The mellow tone and the deep penetrating vibe that flowed from the bell....well, it was all it could be!
More to come...
